Please embed the images instead of proposing hyperlinks, it's more user-friendly (allows reading without need of clicking and seeing images on separate screens).

means that the field is required, so you need OBLIGATORY. (EDIT: fixed after Jürgen comment)

Concerning the search help of every field, you need to be experienced in SAP ERP and know the names of master tables for every field, e.g. for "material", it would be:

DATA: BEGIN OF dummy_select_options_for,
        matnr TYPE mara-matnr,
      END OF dummy_select_options_for.

SELECT-OPTIONS s_matnr FOR dummy_select_options_for-matnr.

I think you're wrong.

The keyword is OBLIGATORY.

SELECT-OPTIONS: foo FOR bar OBLIGATORY.

If you want to validate non-mandatory input fields, you should write a validation form/method/class.

Kind regards
